Are you looking for orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child? Have you dreamed of having a straight, beautiful smile to boost your confidence? Many people feel the same way but have avoided orthodontic treatment because they don’t want to deal with the inconveniences of wire, metal braces. Luckily, Invisalign can be an easier alternative.

First of all, Invisalign is a lot less noticeable than metal braces. Metal braces can visually present a sharp contrast against the whiteness of your teeth, especially if you have colored bands on them. If you want to straighten your teeth but want your orthodontic equipment to be a little lower profile, try Invisalign. As the name implies, Invisalign is a more “invisible” method of teeth straightening. Dr. McAllister will create custom aligners (which are like plastic retainers) for you that are clear and less noticeable.  As you wear them each day, you will transform your smile.

Invisalign can also be easier for you to wear for your day-to-day activities. If you know someone who has ever played contact sports with metal braces (and without a mouthguard), you’ll know that a blow to the face can turn the inside of your cheeks and lips into a bloody mess. You won’t have to deal with that pain when you wear Invisalign. Invisalign can also make eating easier.  You don’t have to avoid all of the hard and sticky foods that braces-wearers have to avoid, since you can take out your aligners while you’re eating, and then simply clean your teeth before you put them back in. It’s likely that you’ll feel less stressed and self-conscious when you wear Invisalign daily.

Another benefit of getting Invisalign for your teeth as opposed to braces is that you’ll have shorter orthodontic appointments. Rather than spending what can feel like hours in the dental chair as your orthodontist  tightens each wire and bracket on your braces, you’ll be in and out in a few minutes. Your orthodontist, Dr. McAllister  will just ensure that your teeth are following the Invisalign treatment plan he created, and make any adjustments that might be needed.

So, if you want to boost your confidence, or the confidence of your child by getting a straight, stunning smile, remember that braces aren’t your only option. Invisalign can be less noticeable, easier for daily activities, and will guarantee shorter orthodontic appointments. Now you can get the straight smile you’ve been dreaming of without the frustrations of braces.
